Autobiography
A little kindness can change one’s soul and identity. Do not believe me? Have you yet to hear the fairytales or see the movies. I bet you heard it all, but don’t even care to take a look at it. The world will be what you want it to be in your mind. So take care of your mind, and don’t associate with bad things. A healthy environment can do wonders for the mind. Good or Bad, all it takes is too much exposure, and the mind can be altered forever.
Unknowingly, being born into a broken family isn’t bad at all. At a young age, you may wonder why your mom would always yell and scream at your dad for coming home late. To avoid seeing them fighting, I would play my Xbox 360, which I got for Christmas. I would rot my brain on the game to distract myself while barely being conscious. Why did nobody help me? You must not know addiction can start early. In my early life, I had 3 siblings, my oldest one being in jail. Most of the time, we didn’t really bond how my other 2 siblings and I did. My sister was a little younger, and my brother was a bit older, and he watched over us and took care of me. He was my protector and role model. He was an athlete who was good at every sport; he showed me my first anime and taught me how to play the game. My sister and I were so close when we were young. She was more mature than me and grew up faster than me, so our bond didn’t last that long.
I was happy with my family, but life never goes the way you want. When I found out I was having another baby sister, I was so annoyed that she was getting all of the attention I started cutting off the world. Most of my days were spent on my game. Countless hours passed by. I did socialize and go out now and then, but I wasn’t attached; I just wanted some attention. Being the middle child sucked. In 2019, we lost our older to gun violence, and my other became mentally ill and is currently in a mental hospital. I started high school during COVID-19.
In reality, in 2020, life was just moving too fast for me. I wanted to fit in, so I started being around the wrong, but I changed that as soon as I realized that young people’s minds are messed up and we don’t have the opportunity to change. All that aside, now I know who I am and what I wanna do art and entertain the world with across my platforms. Although it took the usage of weed to heal me and get rid of the trauma I faced, I’m taking better care of my health while on the usage. I also plan on starting a clothing brand with my friend. We have some incredible styles and ideas, and we are making connections, being confident in our abilities to grow, and getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. Once you change your view and start doing better, you should ask a friend who might not be doing well the same old question:” How ya feeling?” That is all it takes to help somebody start healing. This would help people, and we can all come together and advance as a whole to become a better human being, causing humans a species that continues to evolve and grow. I get mad when I see people waste their lives now cause we are all limitless thinkers, but we fight each other.
